Opposable thumbs would be evolution, most likely. An example of adaptation would be like, camels having long eyelashes to prevent getting sand in the eyes, that kind of thing.

A good example of adaptation in every day human life is callouses. Repeated rubbing or bumping makes your body change. Have a look at the two fingers you use to grip your pen with when writing, or compare the fingertips on the two hands of a guitarist.
